Universidad de Chile SWST Annual Conference 2008 Concepcion - Chile Oriented Strand Board Industry Development in the South American Region. Main challenges Victor Gaete-Martinez Wood Science Faculty at Universidad de Chile PhD Candidate, University of Maine Alejandro Bozo PhD Associate Professor, Universidad de Chile PhD Washington State University Universidad de Chile Outline o Introduction o Objectives o Research and development (R&D) situation in South America o General view of the wood industry o OSB Panel industry o South American housing industry o Opportunities o Challenges Universidad de Chile Introduction In North America: Wafer board ---------------------- Late 50’s OSB ------------------------------------ Late 60’s OSL ------------------------------------ Late 90’s Thousands of Scientific and Technical papers Numerous Associations and Publications Development Areas in Major Universities and research institutions: Forintek in Canada USFS – FPL in U.S. Universities (Maine, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin, etc.) 3 Universidad de Chile Introduction • Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and Oriented Strand Lumber (OSL) are similar forms of EWP and they are currently referred as Oriented Strand Composites (OSC) • Related manufacturing technology – Resination – Formation – Consolidation of wood strands into a structural element 4 Universidad de Chile Introduction OSC Production Process Diagram Universidad de Chile Capacity: Roughly 30,000,000 m3/year 61 mills distributed across the U.S. and Canada Weyerheuser Tolko Nordbord Inc. Martco Limited Louisiaa‐Pacific Corp. Longlac Wood Ind. Jolina Capital Inc. Huber Engineered Woods Grant Forest Products Georgia Pacific Canfor/Louisiana Pacific Canfor Ainsworth/Grand Forest Products Ainsworth Lumber 6 Universidad de Chile Introduction North America South America 7 UMECE Source: Universidad de Chile Introduction North American Market • Engineered Wood Products (EWP) experienced fast growth until 2007 2 x 10 6 Home starts 1.5 1 0.5 0 2001 2002 2003 2004 Year 2005 2006 2007 Privately owned started houses in the U.S. Universidad de Chile Objective This study was carried out in an attempt to unfold the causes that inhibited a greater level of development and utilization of oriented strand composites in the South American continent 9 Universidad de Chile Research and development (R&D) situation in South America R&D initiative generated at the academic level. Conversely to the trend in North America, Europe and Asia Percentage of industrial initiative research projects In South America the industry plays a minor role in research development Governmental funds = the only source of financing for Universities and Research Institutions 1 0 Universidad de Chile Research and development (R&D) situation in South America Scattered efforts in Chile, Brazil and Venezuela implied the occurrence of redundant work with misuse of the limited resources available for research. The lack of reliable statistics makes difficult to analyze and project the behavior of the region in this sector without a considerable bias. 1 1 Universidad de Chile General view of the wood industry 1 2 Universidad de Chile General view of the wood industry Breakdown of the South American region forest products production (C=Coniferous, NC= Non-Coniferous. Source=FAO 2006) 1 3 Universidad de Chile General view of the wood industry Comparison between high and low value-added forest products 1 4 Universidad de Chile OSB Panel industry Production Share of Particle Boards (including OSB) in South America in 2001 and 2006 (Source=FAO) 1 5 Universidad de Chile OSB Panel industry Particle board imports to South America by countries in 2006 (Including OSB/ Source=FAO) 1 6 Universidad de Chile OSB Panel industry Two countries produce OSB in the region LP in Chile 133000 m3/year Native forest, especially of the type Roble (Nothofagus obliqua) - Rauli (Nothofagus alpina) – Coigue (Nothofagus dombeyii) and insigne pine (Pinus radiata D.Don). LP – Masisa in Brazil State of the art facility with a capacity of 350000 m3/year 95% of Caribean pine logs Fully automated Recently Diefenbaker shipped an entire facility to Venezuela. It would enter in operations in 2009 200,000 m3 per year in the first expansion (potentially double) New OSB plant to start operating in Chile Equipment formerly used in Montrose, Colorado 160 million square feet. 1 7 Universidad de Chile South American house construction activity Iberian heritage + Original people tradition 1 8 Universidad de Chile South American house construction activity Alto de madera 1 9 Universidad de Chile South American house construction activity Landlord's colonial house 2 0 Universidad de Chile South American house construction activity Currently in Public sector 2 1 Universidad de Chile South American house construction activity Private sector Universidad de Chile Opportunities Percentage of forest land per country Sustainable and environment friendly industry Universidad de Chile Opportunities Breakdown of OSB production costs in North America Item Normalized cost • Wood strands -------------------- 0.358 South America 70% • Resin ------------------------------- 0.173 150% • Wax ------------------------------- 0.038 120% • Energy ----------------------------- 0.100 80%-200% • Labor ------------------------------ 0.177 40%-60% • Miscellaneous ------------------- 0.154 Total 1.000 Universidad de Chile Opportunities Necessity of engineered, high quality, and cheaper material Universidad de Chile Challenges Education, communication and promotion of the advantages of OSCs Seminars, courses, workshops, technical training oriented to: Political Authorities Constructors & professionals Architects Users Universidad de Chile Challenges Increase research and innovation in the region in the use of OSCs Natural durability, fire, earthquakes, natural fiber reinforcement Lack of competition reduces the impulse to innovate Overcoming the culture is a major task for the industry and it will might take years Universidad de Chile SWST Annual Conference 2008 Concepcion - Chile Oriented Strand Board Industry Development in the South American Region.
